摘要：

In an ironically Zizekian manner, this paper argues that Simon Critchley and Slavoj Zizek's apparent political disagreement (ludic reformist versus strident revolutionary) conceal a common set of preconditions and presuppositions.These presuppositions can be summed by the slogan "the forgetting of political philosophy", which more specifically means the forgetting of the difference between philosophy and political life, and the reflective need to find mediations between the two. Critchley's turn to humour honours the notion that politics is about the realm of appearances, while Zizek's frank avowal of the "diabolical evil" of the subject of the death drive makes patently clear the dangers posed by a "politics of Truth".
